I'm not a great movie-watcher. Mostly sci-fi. But I've watched some good movies. One was 'True Grit' (some movies are just unique) and today I found a remake offerred from 2010 free TV. I had some doubts. The Texas Ranger seemed sexist. I mean, when I first switched to the movie, he seemed a bit "stalkish". So I went elsewhere, but I went back. I mostly never like remakes. And I hardly ever remember names.
So, the girl character was right, Rooster Cogburn was right, the Texas Ranger was mostly right (Glenn Campbell seemed more honorable in the original) but got better as the movie went along.
The bad guys were good as actors (and bad guys are seldom good actors).
In fact what impressed me was that all the characters were as good or better than the originals. I think even the bad guys did a good job of being bad. If there was an award for "best remake", I would suggest the 2010 version of 'True Grit'.
Watch it if you get the chance...

I like to plant Pansies in the Fall. I replace the dead Tomatos and deck pot flowers with them most years. Best deal I found was 12-packs ...

I did like that. I didn't realize it was a remake though :)
